Pumpkin and Lentil Soup

We’ve had some strange days of weather recently. This photo isn’t the best, but in it you can see a rainbow, really dark clouds to the North over the lake, and you can tell that it is 100% sunny behind me by the way the trees are shining with light. Add to that some lightning and snow all in the same day and you can see what I mean – strange! But kind of beautiful, really…

It definitely means that it is weather for soup! Add to that my success with a loaf of sourdough (after several ended up out in the compost for various reasons…), and it was a perfect night to try a pumpkin and lentil soup!

I made this soup for dinner tonight and it was SO good! Glad there was enough left to freeze for another night. I can still smell the fragrance of curry. We didn’t have homemade bread, but did have yummy grilled cheese sandwiches with it-I am so full!
